BUSINESS FORMATION & ENTITY STRUCTURING

Choosing the right legal structure for your business is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. Whether you’re starting a new venture or reorganizing an existing business, I help guide you through the process of selecting the best entity type that aligns with your goals and protects your interests. Below are the primary entity types I assist with and their benefits:



Limited Liability Company (LLC)

• Benefits: LLCs provide liability protection for owners, meaning your personal assets are protected from business debts or lawsuits.
• Flexibility: LLCs offer flexibility in management and taxation, with options for pass-through taxation to avoid double taxation.
• Ideal for: Small to medium-sized businesses that want simple management and flexibility.



Corporation (C-Corp and S-Corp)

• Benefits: Corporations offer strong liability protection and are ideal for businesses that plan to raise capital through stock or venture funding.
• C-Corp: Offers unlimited growth potential through stock issuance but is subject to double taxation.
• S-Corp: Allows pass-through taxation, avoiding double taxation, but has restrictions on the number and type of shareholders.
• Ideal for: Businesses seeking to scale, raise capital, or go public.



Partnership

• Benefits: Partnerships allow for shared responsibility and resources while providing flexibility in terms of ownership and management.
• Types: General partnerships and limited partnerships, each with different levels of liability and involvement.
• Ideal for: Two or more individuals or entities looking to collaborate and share profits and losses.



Choosing the Right Entity

Selecting the best business structure depends on several factors, including the number of owners, risk exposure, tax considerations, and long-term business goals. I help you weigh these factors and determine the most beneficial structure for your situation. Whether you’re looking for flexibility with an LLC, the scalability of a corporation, or the shared management of a partnership, I ensure your entity choice fits your business needs.
